Sulamérica Cia Nacional de Seguros SA and others v Enesa Engenharia SA and others [2012] EWCA Civ 638; [2012] WLR (D) 148

“Where a commercial contract contained a choice of law clause exclusively in favour of one country and a jurisdiction clause giving the courts of the same country exclusive jurisdiction, but an arbitration clause by which the seat of the arbitration was to be in a different country, the issue of the proper law of the arbitration clause was a matter of contractual interpretation. The proper law depended on all the terms of the particular contract, when read in the light of the surrounding circumstances and commercial common sense.”
